Minecraft: Playstation 3 Edition Out Today

Minecraft: Playstation 3 Edition is out today on PlayStation Store! It costs $19.99 and weighs in at a 103 MB (including a handy patch that’ll download when you first launch the game).

Minecraft: Playstation 3 Edition comes packed with cool stuff: split-screen support for up to four players, online multiplayer for up to eight, Creative mode, Survival mode, and a bundle of Trophies. It’s super fun. If you don’t believe me, get the trial and decide for yourself.

Watch the trailer above to see some pretty footage of Minecraft: Playstation 3 Edition, or stop reading this and start the download!

Hope you guys didn’t lose a lot of sleep staying up all night trying to decide on the price since you didn’t post it yesterday. Oh look, the same price as when it came out on the Xbox360 over 18 months ago. Thanks. Thanks a lot.

My 8-year-old son will love this fact, but I really wish you’d simply answer the question about cross-buy. I don’t want to buy it for the PS3, and then have to rebuy it for the PS4. With cross-buy, I’ll purchase today. Without it, I’ll wait. Not knowing is just not fun.

Awesome. My 8-yr old son plays Pocket Edition like crazy on his iPod, but his laptop is old and doesn’t run the PC version worth a darn and he doesn’t have an Xbox 360 so he’s going to be ecstatic about this FINALLY coming to PS3!

3 Questions:

(1) Will the PS Vita port be based on the PS3/360 version or will it share more in common with the upcoming PS4/XB1 versions? Please tell me it’s not just PE ported from iOS/Android?

(2) Cross-buy? Cross-save? I realize probably not between the Vita/PS4 versions as they’re most likely vastly different but what about Vita/PS3?

I also want to support this game and buy it but, I’m not gonna just fork out $20 for a game for ps3 when I have a next gen console with a currently limited library of games I need to build up to make my investment worth it. I mean I have spent money on the PC minecraft back in alpha stage when it was just coming into it’s own. But, again I’m not gonna buy it unless I know I will get a discount for repurchasing it again on ps4 in the distant future or a crossbuy.. Might I remind you 4J studios you did promise to be a launch title for next gen consoles back at e3.

Yeah I know the game is gonna sell well but I can’t imagine how many more sales they would get right now if they just let us know if it’ll be Cross-Buy or not… I would buy it in a heartbeat right now for PS3 if I knew I’d get the PS4 version later.. But I won’t buy it till I know I’ll get the PS4 version :(

I CANT WAIT TO GET THIS!!!!!!!!! I am a big fan of this game. I play the pocket edition of this game, and was addicted to it the first time I played it. O and Merry Christmas to y’all at PSN., and GO VOLS!! #VolByVol

Well, as much as I love Minecraft, I already have this on the PC and Xbox, so it’s either cross-buy or no buy for me. I think a lot of people feel this way… I guess $19.99 for a port of a down-scaled port is a little steep for me.

Alread got the game! It’s a SUPER FUN GAME to play alone and with friends! It came late BUT finaly got to PS3!!! I dont know but, I guess a PS VITA version will be great too! I know vita can run this game!

Although I don’t play Minecraft, my friend kept on encouraging me to buy the game since he played on Xbox 360 (he has both ps3 and Xbox 360). I can’t wait to start downloading and installing this game right after school. My eagerness is at it’s limit!

seriously?….. like, really, ive been asking about this (among other) games for months now, and I was completely ignored about it and everything else in that list, and now the game is here, without announcement, so if its not too much to ask, could some light please be shed on the ps4 version of this, and possibly warthunder, starbound, , towerfall ascension, and other games like these? it would be greatly appreciated if we could get some kind of information about these things

@AlphaGoku1 or @ 36 they did announce it, yesterday, and almost all the gaming blogs announced it, I even announced it. The PS4 version will not be here for a LOOOONG time, somehwhere in 2014, maybe march, and it will probably launch WITH the PS Vita version or AFTER.

@Murda_Bo1z well besides yesterday, sorry I missed that day ( -____-). but why so long for a port to ps4? It was supposed to be out soon after launch if im not mistaken, but do you have any information on the other games in that list, since you seem to be the only informed person around here

Just got it and I have this addiction once again. I’m going to waste my time for this game but also enjoy it. 2 things from you guys. mic support and cross buy for all playstation platforms (PS3, PS4, PSVITA) when the other versions is release.

@AlphaGoku1 or @38
And I think the time it’s taking is because PS4 coding might be a little different (It most likely is, with the ability to minimize the game and remote play ALL PS4 games to PS Vita) it’s definitely going to take longer, and the PS Vita one can’t release yet because it needs to work with the PS4 version, so basically we won’t be seeing either until they’re both done most likely, hopefully they will surprise us and get it done earlier. (I doubt it, but I believe it can be done, I mean, they made a game made out of blocks famous, they’re obviously doing something correctly.)

warthunder is available in EU only last time I heard, starbound is confirmed but nothing solid on when, and how early on towerfall, cause theres been nothing new on it since they said it was coming in 2014, not a demo, nothing

So I see what’s going to happen here this will be cross-save & cross play only. Just like terraria on the PS Vita & PS3.And since I know this will happen its not a big rush for me to get this game now. I’ll wait until I hear more information leading up to E3.

“When the game will become available for PS4 in North America?
It depends only on Sony Computer Entertainment of America, but we’re doing our best to bring War Thunder to US console players as soon as possible.”

Yea, I see what your saying, but most of the time with game development you can’t put a date on it because things happen and if you don’t meet the date you set everyone will hate you more, it’s sometimes best to not say anything specific.

For an example look at the soul sacrifice blog post, when Sony didn’t put it on the store for everyone to get it when they said they would….Oh boy…everyone was ready to give up on PlayStation! (Lol, I was one of those people, I’d never quit though, not as long as Nintendo and Microsoft are their only competition.)

not saying anything is just as bad as giving bad information though, and yeah I get things happen, but if theres a consistency from both parties and the support ( us consumers) is there, there shouldn’t be much if any reason to have delays or anything like that, I mean, this multi billion dollar industry with decades of experience, shouldn’t have that much of a problem getting the things they want to have done completed. and its not like people aren’t showing an interest in these things, they’re just not being acknowledged
